great team logo or greatest team logo?
+ Show Spoiler +
that item is still a worse mana solution than bloodstone for the heroes that arguably want it most, lesh and timber

ya i mean the soulbooster really isn't horrible for a support because really all they need is survivability.
if you look at supports like AA right now who go midas -> agha, whats to stop other supports with strong natural skillsets that only need levels from doing the same thing except going for octarine core instead. its only 1.5kish more gold so it'll take a little longer than the agha but would it be worth it? maybe.
just thinking about the possibilities here no flamerino pls

there's no way AA wants that item more than aghs; how would spell vamp make him more useful in fights anyway?
it has to be heroes with extended DPS that can survive initial bursts in fights in the first place, which some heroes probably couldn't do even with a soul booster's worth of HP (might be nice on core skywrath but core skywrath is so volatile/snowball dependent lol)
|
well aa aghs is like good whereas (insert hero here) octarine sucks dick where (insert hero here) is like 80% of supports.
|
People bought old Aghanims when it had a similar but even more expensive cost, did far less and money was harder to come by.

im not saying that AA will want it first or that octarine will be an AA item..im just saying that there is a precedent for picking up a midas, then rushing a big item.
|
I guess if the hero is going to be really passive or doesn't need an item like euls to set up kills, then it could be cool. But what supports really need cool down reduction over other items?

People aren't theorycrafting Octarine builds for supports.

I mean aghs is hardly a big item its 4.2k gold and aghs is a fundamental game changer on the heros u buy it on, whereas octarine core is like a slight improvement.

imagine being able to stun once every 6 seconds
imagine being able to cast shadow wave once every 4ish seconds
again im not trying to imply that i endorse anything, just think of the possibilities

He just said if supports can rush Aghs, they could also rush the new items.
The builds people are theorycrafting are ussually on stuff like Lesh, Zeus, Bristle, Necro, etc.

wow now 25% better (TM) for only 80% of ur networth

ogre magi with a pooled aghs and farmed octarine 4.5 sec cd on normal fireblast 4.5 sec cd on unrefined with a kotl behind him reducing his cd by 4 seconds every 16 seconds
the dream

Building the item just for the CD reduction is stupid. It's the Spell Vamp that makes it look broken. You will never buy it just to stun every 6 seconds.

well think about someone like ogre..healed to full.
cast your shadow wave on a surrounded hero..healed to full.
i agree its better on cores like bristle and necro and zeus (all three of which will never be killable) but i think the hp and regen is important too..the cdr is sick..and the lifesteal if you use your abilities right and thats just dirty.
or like...imagine a CM ulti with that item LOL

If you want low CD fun just play with Str Morph + Kotl and stun people for 15 seconds.
